Renewable energy from carbon dioxide: Process engineering to obtain bio-oil from algae.

The Stern Report (2007)[1] has called for a CO2 REDUCTION BY MORE THAN 80% in 10-20 years to prevent profound changes in the climate over coming centuries. The proposed project will capture CO2 using algae then off-set the capital investment and on-going expenses of the CO2 capture technology by creating high value products from algae (i.e. bio-diesel, livestock feed and purified water). This process aims to be independently profitable regarless of future carbon taxes or carbon trading systems. This project also investigates water purification methods and new livestock feed additives which can help reduce the effects of drought on food producers in rural and regional areas.
